It’s easy to focus only on the headline wines when a producer reaches the level of Weingut Dönnhoff—but that misses the real story. What makes Dönnhoff so compelling isn’t just the brilliance of the Grosses Gewächs bottlings, it’s how consistently that same philosophy shows up across the entire range. From the first pour to the most collectible cuvées, there’s a throughline of precision, restraint, and clarity that’s remarkably hard to replicate. |

There’s a particular kind of Mosel producer that insiders quietly stock up on before the broader market catches on—and Weingut Günther Steinmetz sits squarely in that category. Stefan and Sammie Steinmetz are working some of the steepest, most vertiginous parcels along the river, including old-vine sites that many larger producers abandoned decades ago because they were simply too difficult to farm. What they’ve done is bring those vineyards back to life—and in doing so, they’ve unlocked a level of site expression that feels both deeply traditional and strikingly vivid. |
If you really want to understand where Rioja is headed—not where it’s been—start with Telmo Rodríguez. There’s a certain moment that happens when you taste his wines: the realization that Rioja can be something far more transparent, more alive, and more site-driven than most people expect. At Remelluri, Telmo isn’t chasing trends—he’s quietly redefining the ceiling of what the region can deliver. |
